Namadgi National Park- Yerrabi Track

I hadn't been camping since June last year which was unusual. I had been busy though with buying a house, moving to the South Coast and starting a new job.

A few days off and a couple of nights camping in Namadgi National Park to "break the drought."

After stopping at the visitors centre to pay for my campsite I drove into the park and down the Boboyan Road. First stop at Hospital Hill lookout with views  over the Gudgenby Valley and the mountains behind. Mt Gudgenby is the peak on the far left.

Then further along the road a 3.7klm return walk to Yerrabi Lookout with views over a granite tor and back towards Mt Gudgenby

On the left of the panorama is the Boboyan Valley with the Gudgenby Valley to the far right

Another stop before the campsite and a short 3.5klm walk to Shanahans Mountain. This time with views across the Naas Valley and on to the Murrumbidgee  River Valley and the Tinderries

Camp at Mt Clear

With the last of the suns light catching Mt Clear

The next night was a little more cloudy for the sunset while I relaxed with a few friends

Three Islet Point

A 6.8klm walk from Maloneys Beach to Three Islet Point and back

Leaving the car at the start of the Acheron Ledge Track we walked out to Reef Point. 

Views back down to Chain Bay and Maloneys Beach.

Then dropping down to Reef Beach.

At the end of Reef Beach a very steep climb up to the headland. There is an easier track that starts behind the dunes at the western edge of the beach.

Again, good views from the headland back over Reef Beach.

And out to our destination at Three Islet Point

Then making our way along Yellow Rock Beach and past the National Park cabins.

Before a long section of rock platforms out to Three Isle Point.

At the point I climbed part way up the second Islet. I didn't make it to the top because the wind was pushing me around and I stayed in the lee.

Looking back down the point with North Head on the right and yellow Rock Beach to the left.

The seaward side of the point.

Looking out along the point into the Bay

And out to the Tollgate Islands

An excellent walk

Giriwa Walk

The Giriwa Walk is in Meroo National Park and follows the western arm of Burrill Lake between  two picnic areas. 

A pleasant walk of 6.6klm on the way home from Bundanoon.

Easy access for the kayak and good swimming at the beaches at the picnic areas. 

A Day Out

A few days in Bundanoon and a long anticipated visit to Red Cow Farm. I have wanted to see this open garden for some time and it is just next door at Sutton Forest.

Beautiful hedging and topiary

And a magnificent display of late summer/autumn flowers. 

I loved this Canna "Bengal Tiger" and came back the next week and purchased one from their nursery. 

Borrowed vistas from the paddocks next door 

And no garden is complete without a water feature. 

We'll be back in spring.
